Question: My business is small, my customers are local. Why do I need a Website?

Answer: According to the Gartner Group business-to-consumer e-commerce, now a $31 billion market will hit $380 billion by 2003.

Researchers report 64 percent of Internet users have expressed an intent to buy online and Investors Business Daily reports 18.5% of U.S. adults aged 18 and over are now online.
